Walk Toronto calls for Lawrence Park sidewalks

The City is tearing up all of the streets in the Lawrence Park neighbourhood to fix the water system. But when it rebuilds the streets, it's not planning to add sidewalks to more than a small minority of the streets, contrary to the City's own policies. Local residents have been fighting for more sidewalks to improve pedestrian safety, and Walk Toronto's Michael Black prepared a comprehensive report on why they are needed. The report was presented to the Public Works and Infrastructure Committee when it considered the plan.
